Attendance Drop In Session

We work closely with our Education Welfare Officer Laura Blakemore and would like to invite you to a drop in session on Thursday 23rd October. Laura will be available from 2.30pm for an informal chat, should you wish to discuss any aspect of your child’s attendance or special leave requests.

Safeguarding

Absence – If your child is not able to attend school please call the school office on each day of absence giving a reason why. All illness is monitored for health & safety reasons so please give clear details of your child’s symptoms. If you do not call school the absence will be recorded as unauthorised and in certain circumstances we may ask the Education Welfare Officer to make a visit.

Playground Safety – If your child comes to school on their scooter please make sure they do not ride it on the school premises or leave it lying around on the paths or playgrounds. For their own safety and the safety of others, please ask them to dismount at the gate. Thank you

Book Bags

Due to increasing costs we have had to increase the price of our book bags with immediate effect. The new price is £5.50.

School Dinners

We would like to remind parents/carers that your child should keep to either a lunch provided by school or a packed lunch from home for a full week.

Spare Clothes

We are again in need of spare clothes, particularly girl’s pants and socks/tights. Any donations would be gratefully received.
